Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Middle East&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;put together."

It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana .... check THIS out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Alaska's&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Montana&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Legislature's financial analyst.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-position: 0% 50%;"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years' reports, The&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Pittsburgh&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Post Gazette.  It's a formation known as the&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Williston&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; Basin&lt;/span&gt;, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches fromNorthern Montana, through&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;North Dakota&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and into&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Canada. For years,&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;U. S.&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;oil exploration has been considered a dead end.  Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves..... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;U. S.

It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;August 8, 2005&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt;They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.

HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Americabecome independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped.

Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Got your attention/ire up yet?  Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it .... and hopefully P.O'd, do this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices --- because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;--------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Now I  just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:red;"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; color: red; font-family: Arial;"&gt;By the way...this is all true.&lt;span class="ecxapple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-position: 0% 50%;"&gt;&lt;span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18pt; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;GOOGLE it or follow this link.
